If '84's passed, can Big Brother be true? Down in D.C. the rightists are snug in their beds. With visions of deficits in nary a head.

"My gloves won't shake off," he moans...

Consider: three Top Ten singles from Culture Club's first album, Kissing to Be Clever, which sold more than a million copies; a fourth, fresh single, Church of the Poison Mind, already snug at No. 11, with another, Karma Chameleon, ready to take off; and a new album, Colour by Numbers, storming the LP charts...
